Ulmont Whitehead ‘40 was a prior enlisted sailor, pride of Hartford, Connecticut, and a Naval Academy football star.
“Years of exacting labor have failed to submerge Whitey into the drudgery of tedious detail. He dreams of the day to be when he will be able to carry out his ideas — ideas that will prove exceedingly beneficial to all those to whom they may be applied. He meets every situation with a determination and whole-heartedness that sees it successfully through to the end, realizing that to completely enjoy one's life, one must live it. Meeting each reverse with more than enough energy to turn it to victory, Whitey will soon be pushing himself to his rightful position of prominence at the top of the heap.”
Ulmont was killed on the morning of December 7th, 1941 when his ship, USS Arizona (BB 39), was destroyed at Pearl Harbor.
